ULTIMATE TENSILE STRENGTH AND FRACTURE TOUGHNESS EXPERIMENTS WERE CONDUCTED INVOLVING SUB-ZERO CHILLED (USING LIQUID NITROGEN) CAST IRON CONTAINING 1.5%CU, AND CHROMIUM CONTENTS RANGING FROM 0.0% TO 2.0%. IT WAS FOUND THAT BOTH ULTIMATE TENSILE STRENGTH AND FRACTURE TOUGHNESS ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE CHROMIUM CONTENT AS WELL AS THE LOCATION ON THE CASTING FROM WHERE THE TEST SPECIMENS ARE TAKEN. NO DEFINITE RELATIONSHIP WAS FOUND BETWEEN FRACTURE TOUGHNESS AND ULTIMATE TENSILE STRENGTH.
